The Story ~ My Grandpa ~ Part 1
My Grandpa Darrell and I shared a car bond since I was a young boy and this is part of why I am where I am today. My Grandpa Darrell had a 1961 Chevy Bubbletop Impala.

Turns out, his gift

He grew up always working on cars, taking engines apart and putting them back together, sometimes, just for fun. He was a car guy through and through.
Turns out, his gift of understanding how stuff works and goes together was passed on to me.

As I continued to work on more vehicles, changing oil and also basic maintenance, I began to have a dream of one day attending and building my own vehicle for SEMA. I have now attended the SEMA show three years in a row and that has helped develop the vision for my first SEMA Build.
My Grandpa passed away in December of 2022 and he left his 1961 Impala to me. That car has become a large part of my business in that my business logo implements it and my dream of building my own SEMA Build is beginning to come to fruition. My 2025 SEMA Build will be called Darrell, it will be his 1961 Chevy Impala. Please read on to find out what will be included in fulfilling my dream.

A Big "THANK YOU" to Modern DriveLine and TREMEC
Modern DriveLine and TREMEC stepped up early and supported us from the beginning when the project was high risk and these guys trusted me as a 20-year-old young man ... Thank you. I look forward to a long-lasting relationship as we innovate together.
A Big "THANK YOU" to Currie Rear End
Great Team - Great Support - These guys also stepped up early and supported this build.
A Big "THANK YOU" to Western Steel
This project was certainly outside the wheelhouse of their normal business but not outside their capability. They custom cut all or the pieces for the frame and supplied all the steel for this car ... We look forward to a long relationship.
